I just now found your post (four years after the fact) as I was doing a web search for the company. I used the 2500AD assembler for 6502/65c02 in the late 1980's. It was definitely a very good one, although I do seem to find at least minor bugs and problems with every piece of software I use. Later I used Cross-32 (abreviated C32), originally from Universal Cross Assemblers in Canada, but now has been bought by Data Sync Engineering. See http://www.datasynceng.com/c32doc.htm. I suppose changes in the source code will always be needed when going from one assembler to another, but they should be minor and not take long. I do still have the quick-reference manual (under 1/4" thick) for the 2500AD assembler but not the full manual. Avocet Systems (http://avocetsystems.com/) seems to have taken over 2500AD. I remember they seemed to have a good assembler too when I was using 2500AD.

Marold) Keywords: assembler, question Organization: Analog Devices, Norwood MA Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1992 21:09:24 GMT I am working on an embedded system, and "inherited" about 10,000 lines of 8051 assembly code and an assembler with no docs. When run, the assembler prints as a header: 8051 CROSS ASSEMBLER - COPYRIGHT (C) 1983 BY 2500 AD SOFTWARE INC Has anyone out there in Net-land ever heard of this company, and if so, are they still out there ? I have no docs for this thing and it's very frustrating to use. It would take way to long to convert to another assembler, so I'm stuck with this one. If you have anything that might be of use, please reply by email. Thanks!! Andrew E.
